Kisses are great if all parties are into it. I think of it as a must but have been without. It definitely makes things better. I think part of the reason some do not kiss is because of possible STDs or whatever. I have heard that a lot of the things we do that we think are safe actually are not, so it begs the question of why be safe if you cannot? I think the providers that are no kissing/daty and all else that is direct contact with an opening are probably the most conscious of safety as a whole. These are just my opinions and some things that I have read feel free to believe otherwise or make an amendment to my dialogue.
